$2$. Species diversity: It refers to the variety of species within a region. The number of species per unit area is called species richness.
$3$. Ecosystem diversity: It refers to the diversity at the level of the ecosystem,such as the variety of habitats,biotic communities,and ecological processes in the biosphere.
